Explaining wartime rape Journal of Sex Research - Find Articles Researchers are also unified in their belief that the lack of attention to wartime rape by scholars and international courts represents a serious dereliction of moral and intellectual duty (e.g., Sajor, 1998, p. First, the term wartime rape, as it is employed in the literature, never indicates isolated examples of rape by individual fighters. Rather, the term is used interchangeably with mass wartime rape to indicate distinct patterns of rape by soldiers at rates that are much increased over rates of rape that prevail in peacetime. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2372/is_2_41/ai_n6112867   (761 words)

Solving the Wartime Combat-Support Manpower Equation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) The development of wartime manpower standards to forecast contingency personnel requirements is of importance to every leader and decisionmaker in the Air Force because wartime manpower demands are an essential element in developing plans to fight the next war and in programming the next budget. Since wartime concepts of operation are not considered vital to manning combat-support functions, rarely does much effort go into their development. Appropriate wartime manpower models in each case reflect that function's peacetime orientation toward wartime operating concepts--concepts that may or may not be mutually supportive of each other's mission or the overall mission in a given environment. www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil /airchronicles/apj/apj89/borofsky.html   (4940 words)

Amazon.com: Wartime: Books: Milovan Djilas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) Wartime is the WWII memoir of the great Yugoslav dissident, Milovan Djilas. A leading prewar Communist activist and a high ranking member of the Yugoslav Communist leadership after the war, Djilas was expelled from the party and imprisoned (in the same prison where he had been jailed by the pre-war dictatorship) for his dissident opinions. The often horrifying events in Wartime are presented in a matter of fact, quotidian manner that only emphasizes the grim nature of Yugoslavian life during the war. www.amazon.com /Wartime-Milovan-Djilas/dp/0156947129   (1261 words)

Amazon.com: Wartime: Understanding and Behavior in the Second World War: Books: Paul Fussell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) While Paul Fussell does an outstanding job of recreating the wartime tricks and habits that kept the war effort humming in the USA and England, he writes as if the entire war was an unnecessary, even childish distraction from more serious business. Wartime, then, reads better as a memoir, but even that is tricky since Fussell rarely refers to himself. I respected Wartime for its blunt honesty, and for the times when it seemed like a sequel to The Great War and Modern Memory for tying general war experiences with the depelopment of war literature. amazon.com /Wartime-Understanding-Behavior-Second-World/dp/0195065778   (2213 words)

Wartime Conferences The first involvement of the United States in the wartime conferences between the Allied nations opposing the Axis powers actually occurred before the nation formally entered World War II. Yalta was the most important and by far the most controversial of the wartime meetings. With the Axis forces defeated, the wartime alliance soon devolved into suspicion and bitterness on both sides. www.state.gov /r/pa/ho/time/wwii/16327.htm   (439 words)

Change of U.S.-ROK Wartime Operational Command The reason is that wartime control of both the US and South Korean forces under a combined structure commanded by an American general – who answers to the Presidents of both nations - is like the keystone of an arch. An agreement to transfer wartime OPCON in 2009, as reportedly suggested by DOD, likely has the perverse effect of denying the South Korean people an opportunity to render a judgment on this proposal, one that has profound consequences for their security. Transferring wartime OPCON to two parallel, independent structures may not be the worst idea to come along in U.S.-ROK relations. www.brookings.edu /views/op-ed/bush/20060914.htm   (1093 words)

WWII Guide: Wartime Hollywood Since the first scenes of warfare appeared in a brief 1898 silent movie filmed during the Spanish American War, many American films have sought to capture the horror and unbridled heroism, carnage and undaunted courage, the senseless and meaning of warfare. They portrayed World War II as a peoples' war, typically featuring a group of men from diverse ethnic backgrounds who are thrown together, tested on the battlefield, and molded into a dedicated fighting unit. Many wartime films featured women characters playing an active role in the war by serving as combat nurses, riveters, welders, and long-suffering mothers who kept the home fires burning. www.digitalhistory.uh.edu /modules/ww2/wartimehollywood.html   (704 words)

Wartime (Doctor Who) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wartime is the title of a short science fiction film, produced direct-to-video in 1987 by Reeltime Pictures. As with other non-BBC spin-offs, the canoncity of Wartime in relation to the Doctor Who series proper, has not been determined, nor has its placement in the chronology of the series. The fact Benton is a warrant officer, having been promoted in the first Fourth Doctor serial, Robot, places it after that serial, but presumably prior to his departure from UNIT in the late 1970s as revealed in the serial Mawdryn Undead. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wartime_(Doctor_Who)   (356 words)

Abraham Lincoln and Civil Liberties in Wartime   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) Known as the law of war, one of its fundamental axioms is that combatants cannot target civilians. Historically, military commissions during wartime began as traveling courts when there was a need to impose quick punishment. This is a difficult maxim to fathom and represents the difficulty Americans and many across the seas have in understanding the different forums of law for trying civilians and those tried by the military. www.heritage.org /Research/NationalSecurity/hl834.cfm   (4538 words)

The Washington Monthly If this is how we define "wartime," it means that in the century from 1940 to 2040 the president will have had emergency wartime powers for virtually the entire time. I would be happy with a legal definition, in whatever form, that strictly limits "wartime" to the event during a "declaration of war". I think we ought to grant wartime liberties to the President when we are at war to such an extent that we have a draft in order to maintain an adequate military for the protection of our country. www.washingtonmonthly.com /archives/individual/2005_12/007818.php   (14161 words)

Digital Chosunilbo (English Edition) : Daily News in English About Korea The president had told the Yonhap news agency Korea is capable of exercising sole wartime operational control of its troops ¡°even if we get it back now¡± instead of leaving it in the hands of the U.S.-led Combined Forces Command. In a statement, the ex-defense chiefs called on the government to seek public consent and parliamentary approval for the move, saying the transfer of operational command is a vital security matter and will cost the taxpayer an astronomical amount of money. The U.S. official said the reason Roh portrayed almost all military issues between the two allies in the context of Korea¡¯s sovereignty despite the fact that wartime operational control is purely a military concept and has nothing to do with sovereignty was an attempt to appeal to voters. english.chosun.com /w21data/html/news/200608/200608100014.html   (606 words)

Wartime Airfields Near Harlow Essex. It is this difference that makes the preservation of these wartime buildings important but, sadly, both Hunsdon and Sawbridgeworth lost their control towers very early. The airfields, however, were built on suitable sites that met certain criteria set down by the government at the time. While many will understand the interest generated by an old wartime airfield, the last thing they want is people walking through crops, or grazing land for livestock. www.wartime-airfields.com /index.html   (1983 words)

USATODAY.com - Gonzales cautions judges against second-guessing the president in wartime   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who is defending President Bush's anti-terrorism tactics in multiple court battles, said Friday that federal judges should not substitute their personal views for the president's judgments in wartime. He said the Constitution makes the president commander in chief and the Supreme Court has long recognized the president's pre-eminent role in foreign affairs. "The Constitution, by contrast, provides the courts with relatively few tools to superintend military and foreign policy decisions, especially during wartime," the attorney general told a conference on the judiciary at Georgetown University Law Center. www.usatoday.com /news/washington/2006-09-29-gonzales_x.htm?csp=34   (685 words)
